The Durban trolleybus system was part of the public transport network in Durban, South Africa, for more than 30 years in the mid-20th century.
According to several sources,[1][2] the Durban system was the first such system worldwide to experience an accident involving an overturned trolleybus. Thirty seven people were injured in that accident, which occurred on 5 March 1941.[2]
Durban's trolleybuses were also unique in being fitted with fishing rod racks at the back.[2]
